On Aug.
4, the first day Toledo's water was declared safe again, a major act of
kindness was seen in a Maumee Kroger store.

A
selfless act from a stranger spared one mom a big hassle and a lot of money.

Jessica
Wagner had her young children with her in line at register nine at Kroger when
she realized her wallet was at home.

"I sort
of panicked," Wagner said. "I've never done that before."

She
turned to the cashier, Emily Gratcl, embarrassed.

"[I
said,] ‘I'm sorry. I live about 10 minutes down the road. I'm going to have to
run home,'" Wagner recalled.

The store
was ready to hold her groceries, but another customer decided to "Pay it
Forward."

"The lady
behind her just inched forward and swiped her card," Gratcl said. "And she was
like, ‘It's OK. It's on me. I got this.'"

"And I'm
like, ‘No, no. I can't let you do that,'" Wagner said.

The kind
stranger not only saved Wagner the trouble of running home, she also saved her
a significant amount of money. Her total for groceries was $93.

"I got
tears in my eyes. I started crying," Wagner said. "I was so overwhelmed that
somebody would just do something like that, without asking anything back."

"It was
an emotional fest after that, and we were just all in tears," Gratcl said. "Thank
God for people like that!"

Even the
Kroger employee bagging the groceries was crying, according to Wagner and
Gratcl.

Wagner
says she tried to get the stranger's name and address to pay her back, but the
woman would only accept a hug as thanks. She just wanted Wagner to take her
groceries home and enjoy time with her children.

"That's a
lot!" Wagner said. "I mean, imagine someone, like I said, like a stranger, just
handing you $100. Like, what? That doesn't happen!"

Wagner
says she plans to pay it forward to someone else in need, and so does Gratcl.
They hope others are inspired to do the same.
